Running ubuntu MATE 15.10. I tried switching from marco to compiz and back via the MATE tweak tool and it completely broke my desktop. Only the wallpaper shows, desktop items, panels, etc. don’t. Alt+F2, CTRL+ALT+T etc. don’t work either so the desktop seems completely locked with no way to even open a terminal, only pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log out works, so I can’t use fixes like deleting ~/.config/dconf/user.
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: after a couple of reboots CTRL+ALT+F1 decided to work and I managed to fix up marco by following the instructions given in this post: Problems switching between Marco and Compiz, or Compiz crash - Locked up Desktop
